Doctor Garfinkle and her staff take patient privacy seriously. After you have scheduled your appointment, you will receive a welcome e-mail.  With this you will be invited to share your information securely using a software application called “Box.” You will have to download this onto your computer, but it will allow you to complete your forms on the computer and save them to a secure “box” that will only be accessible to you and Pediatric Neurology of Orange County office staff.

When you open your file, you will find documents that can be:

  1. Edited- first you have to download “Box Editor.” After this, you can select the pencil on the top right. This will take you to the PDF that you can edit. When you save your entries, they will automatically be saved to a “box” shared between you and Pediatric Neurology of Orange County.
